My daughter had time to kill yesterday, so wandered into a charity shop and ended up helping the old ladies there, to sort through some stock. They gave her a cuppa and a biscuit. Then they gave her the whole packet - what remained of the biscuits. Use by date: 2008 😱

If you like the kind of #Reggae you can drift off to (think Augustus Pablo type vibes) - you might like this as much as I do. The album reminds me a little of Cymande - hazy funk with a dollop of jazz and then an occasional reggae tune thrown in for good measure: open.spotify.com/track/31zedQ...

Burnham has been front and centre across the media since he took office, taking the lead on everything from early release to disposable barbecues, but hundreds of masked men disrupt the country's most important port and it's wheel out the minions with muted murmurings of condemnation.

Hi @sainsburys.bsky.social - How about you lead by good example and use some of the £393,000,000 profits you made last year? You could feed a LOT more hungry people with that, than I could by donating my 150 Nectar points. #JustSaying

A screenshot of an email from Nectar/Sainsburys. Party of an increasing, cynical trend for companies to encourage their customers to donate - so they can look good - without actually touching any of their vast profits.

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought
